OCALA – The Ocala City Council approved giving an $11,044 grant to Virginia Whitt to demolish the old Brick City Printing building she owns at 316 N. Magnolia Ave.

The amount of the grant reflects the lowest bid the city obtained on behalf of the property owner. The demolition includes asbestos removal.

When Whitt sells or transfers the property or obtains a building permit for improvements to be constructed on the property, she must repay the city $5,522, regardless of whether that amount is more or less than the demolition cost.
